John Abraham's 'Madras Cafe', which is all set to hit theaters this weekend is already immersed in controversies. Tamil Nadu's Naam Tamizar and MDMK have sought a ban on the film, which revolves around some incidents that took place during the Sri Lankan civil war.
John though, is adamant for his film to run everywhere and be appreciated. Recently John had mentioned, "People say I am a new producer, just one-film old... But I believe somebody should bring something different. Somebody should take a stand and take up a subject like this and project it. These bullying tactics of groups and parties... I do not accept it."
John therefore released an official statement today, saying, "I would like to urge all of Chennai to support Madras Cafe as a film and release it as it is a credible film made with a lot of heart and gives audiences something novel to be entertained about,vouching and encouraging cinema. "
The film also stars Nargis Fakhri and Raashi Khanna. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, this film is John Abraham's second production after Vicky Donor.
